XONEY X ARKEi AND COMMIRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Business continues very active in the general discount market, and as 6 per cent, is the lowest rate the inquiries at the Bank have increased. Several unfavourable alterations are exhibited in the Bank of England return. There is a falling off in the reserves of notes and bullion consequent upon a demand for both from the agricultural dis tricts, a brisk commercial inquiry, and large ex. ports of gold. The repayment of loans has caused a considerable reduction in the other securities. Annexed are the particulars — Active Circulation .. £21,795,555 Increase ••2l3,l7o Bullio n .• .. 13,171,5 )1 Decrease 529,551 Rest 3,468,793 Increase GO 04 GO 00 57,722 Public Deposits •• •• •• 4 , 462 , 490 Decrease .. 221,313 Other Deposits.. .. 13,408,675 Decrease 1,674,071 Seven Day and other Bills .. 607,133 Increase .. 18,517 Government Securities .. .. 11,092,125 Increase .. • • .. 80,000 Other Securities .. .. 19,281,960 Decrease 1,086,424 Notes Unemployed 5,410,695 Decrease .. .. 665,595 The Bank of France return, on the contrary, is on the whole satisfactory. There is an increase of £116,000 in the bullion ; £BOO,OOO in the Treasury balances, and of £BOO,OOO in the current accounts. The other items show a diminution of £1,115,000 in the discounts, of £48,000 in the advances, and of £176,000 in the notes. At the meeting of the Midland Banking Corn- Puny, held this day—Mr H. A. Hankey in the chair --the report, which was unanimously adopted, r ecommended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum free of income tax. At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Alliance Bank today—Mr 1. N. Daniel in the chair—the report, which was adopted, recommended the payment of a dividend of 10 per cent..on the paid up capital of the company in the proportion in Which it has been called up, viz , 255. per share on the 20,000 original shares, and 123.6 d. per share on the 10,000 new shares. The Union Bank of Ireland held its third ordis nary meeting of shareholders to-day. The report, which was adopted, recommended a dividend of 10s. per share, free of income tax (being rather more than 41 per cent, per annum). The shares of the Robertsfors Iron Works Company Were in demand at 1 prena., and closed at 11 prem. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rontes wore 66t'. 15e. The English Stock Market has shown symptoms of further depression this morning. The Funds have declined another per cent., which, with the that occurred yesterday, gives a fall of ; per cent. within two days. The cause now operating ads versely against the firmness of quotations is the Idea that money will become dearer through the unfavourable specie movement to the Continent. Consols for money are Pi a ; and for the account, 901 4; the New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 1 ; and India 5 per Cents., 1041 ; India Stock is 215.

(From the Queen of this day.) The West-end season of eighteen hundred and sixty-four has been generally admitted to be one of the most brilliant of modern years, considering the retirement of the Sovereign from public) life. Dur- ,ng its continuance we have had balls, dinners, bazaars, amateur plays, concerts, reviews, and every species of amusement which fancy could devise for the entertainment of the heir to the throne and his consort, as well as the fashionable world. A sensa tional wind-up alone was needed ; and as the readers of 71w Queen, we imagine, will like to be made ac quainted with the fullest particulars of an event which, from the rank of the contracting parties, must become one of historic interest, we make no apology for giving the following narrative :—Among the English aristocracy there is no house so remark. able for the manner in which it has interwoven itself with the great families of the land as the Pagets, and which may in soma measure be ac counted for by their connection with the Court, which has been of many years standing. Indeed, it has been said of them that the men were all heroes and the women angels. Around them romance has shed its halo, from the first Marquis of Anglesey down to his granddaughter, who, by her marriage on Saturday, became the Marchioness of Hastings. Such an alliance at one time would have created no more sensation than an ordinary marriage in high life. The announcement would have appeared in our columns; and we should have done justice to the beauty of the bride, and the exquisite texture of her dress, enumerated her bridesmaids, and given details of their costumes, and concluded by stating that the happy pair left town for Donning ton-park, accompanied by the best wishes of their friends for their future happiness. All this trouble has been spared us. We should premise our story by stating that, among the belles of our Eoglieh aristocracy, few of late years created such a see , Ba• Lion on her debut as Lady Florence Paget, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Anglesey. Gifted with the hereditary beauty of her family to a rare extent, her petite figure and dove-like eyes caused her at once to become " the rage of the park, the ball-room, the opera, and the croquet lawn." These personal charms were not a little enhanced by the unaffectedness of her manner and extreme good nature, which caused ber to become the idol of her father and the household. Deprived of a mother's care at an early age, her education was hardly so advanced as might have been anticipated from her sphere in life, and she seemed to have made Diana Vernon her model. In her intercourse with society, among the many suitors by whom she was surrounded was Mr Chaplin, a gentleman possessed of estates in Lincolnshire which produce him a rental of nearly forty thousand pounds per annum, and endowed with every quality to render him a]desirable parti. Their intimacy was such last year that rumours of their engagement appeared in the papers, only to be contradicted, and INIr Chaplin proceeded on a shooting tour in India with his friend Sir Frederick Johnstone. Returning in May, ne again met Lady Florence daily, and as a proof that his attachment was undiminished he pro posed to her, and was accepted. The match was one which gave the greatest satisfaction to the Marquis of Anglesey and all his family, for Mr. Chaplin was a young man of great promise, and by his ample means could give Lady Florence a position in society which she had a right to look for, although she could bring him no dowry. The announcement of the engagement appeared in the Morning Post, and also in our colusans, and the happy pair were seen driving together in the parks, in the same box at the opera, and enjoying each other's society in the same manner as fiancees are in the habit of doing. At a fashionable jeweller's at the West-end Lady Florence's jewels, the gift of Mr. Chaplin, were displayed to all corners, and the trosseau engaged the attention of the first modistes. Presents came into her in abundance, the servants even subscribing for a silver teapot, sugar basin, and cream jug for her. The wedding was fixed for the second week in August, and Mr. Chaplin had made the necessary preparations to receive his bride. But it was not to be, although no later than Friday night she occupied Mr. Chaplin's box at the opera, and sat between him and her really future husband, the Marquis of Hastings, of whom we may remark that his attachment to her had been notorious, and it was known that he meant to have proposed to her, if Mr. Chaplin had not taken time by the forelock. Addicted as his lordship is to the turf and its con genial accessories, it was imagined Lady Florence's image would soon be erased from his mind, but it seemed otherwise, and that, while on the best of terms with Mr Chaplin, he was only concealing his play, for on the following morning (Saturday) that he had been at the opera with him and her ladyship he found himself with the latter at St George's Church, Hanover-square, and they were united for better or worse. As much curiosity prevails to know how the marriage was arranged, we may state that Lady Florence, on Saturday morning, left the St George's Hotel, in Albemarle-street, where she had been staying during Cie season, in her father's brougham, telling the porter, if •Mr Chaplin called, she should not return until two o'clock. She then was driven to Marshall and Snellgrove's, in Oxford street, and leaving the carriage at one entrance was met at the other by the sister of the Marquis of Hastings, who, engaging a hack cab, drove her at once to St George's, where the Marquis of Hastings, accompanied by Mr and Mrs Granville (whose mar riage we recorded only a fortnight back), Mr Blake Mr Wilkinson, and Mr F. Wombwell were in wait ing. Immediately after the ceremony had been performed, the Marquis and Marchioness of Hest logs repaired to Mr Granville's lodgings in St. James's-place, from whence, after the bride had communicated by letter to Mr Chaplin and her family her change of mind, they started per special train for Donnington-park to spend the honeymoon. AtPeterb3rough station they were met by several of their friends, who were not a little surprised to find Lady Florence in company with the marquis instead of Mr Chaplin. To show that the marriage could not have been an impromptu affair, as some people imagine, the fact of the happy couple being received at the station by his tenantry, who had erected no less than nine triumphal arches trimmed with flowers, at once discloses. It is need less to add that Mr Csplin feels very much the slight that has been put upon him, but his feelings are in some measure consoled by the assurance of hie friends that it is all for t'3e best. The Marquis of Anglesey is also much distressed at the affair, for the alliance with Mr Chaplin had his consent and approbation Her ladyship's brother and brother-in-law, Lords Uxbridge and Winchelsea, heard of the marriage by accident at the pigeon shooting match at Hornsey In conclusion, we may state that since Lady Adele Villiers eloped with Captain Ib'oetson, of the 11th Hussars, at Brighton, no similar occurrenca has created such a profound sensation among the West. end Mothers and Daughters. ACCIDENT IN CHEAPSIDE.--Last evening shortly after 9 o'clock, a serious colliaion occurred between a cab and a spring cart in Cheapside. The hind wheels of a cab were carried away the spring cart was turned over, and its occupants, three persons, a woman and two men, were shot into the roadway, one of the men had his right leg broken, the second was considerably shaken ; the woman escaped with very slight injury. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF DIVORCE. LEY V. LEY AND JORDEN. This was a suit instituted by Captain Ley, the son of a gentleman who held a situation as clerk in the House of Commons, for a divorce, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the corespondent, who had formerly been member of a firm of solicitors, and who was represented to be a person of considerable means, and occupying a London residence in Curzon-street. The parties were married in 1853 and cohabited until February last, when she eloped with the co-respondent, with whom she beoamo ac quainted about five years ago while she and her husband were living at Dulwich with his mother, Lady Francis Lay. Letters were put in from the respondent and co-re spondent, which lest no doubt as to their criminality, and the wife expressed herself deeply gratified for the kindness she had received from her husband from the time of their marriage down to the time when she de serted him. It was also proved that this Mr Gordon had occupied the same bed at an hotel and a lodging-hc use at Thames Dittos. Several witnesses were called to prove that the petitioner and his wife lived on terms of mutual affection. Dr Dear, Q,C., addressed the court for mitigation of damages, and said that tho co-respondent was in reduced circumstances. The learned judge having summed up the jury retired, and had not delivered their judgment when we want to press. WELLS V. COTTAM, FALSELY CALLED WELLS AND WELLS.

Chambers, Q C., and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner ; Dr, Wambey and Mr. Reynolds for the respon dent. The jury found a verdict for the petitioner.

Yesterday Mr John Humphreys, Middlesex coro ner, resumed an enquiry, at the Three Caps Tavern, High-street, Bow, respecting the death of a newly born female child, which had been thrown away by order of the mother, a married woman. The facts of the case are as follows :—Last Fri day, some boys playing at the Canal Wharf, Mile End, found a box labelled " Borwick's Baking } - ,wder," and in it the body of the deceased child, which :bey threw under the roadway. They then carried the box to Mrs Stuart, the wife of a com mercial trave,:eri residing at Canal Wharf, and showed her the gild. She recognised a pair of drawers in which it w,...is wrapped as the property of a Mrs Goldsworthy, the w :fe of a painter and glazier living at No 45, stepeey _ orbs an. Mrs Goldsworthy h had a few days a had to recently ms confined, Stuart that a eatt Dr Hance, of the pre viouslye saide r a Mile-end road, had advised her to d.irz a hole, two feet deep, in the garden, and put th e ebai'd in it, as a certificate was not necessary,and she hexdone so. On the night before the boys found the d es . axed child in the box a Mrs Donohue, who had atteni:sed, Mrs Goldsworthy, called at Mrs Stuart's house, anu she must have passed by the spot where the child was found in the morning. Mrs Stuart put the lid of the box in her pocket, and called on Mrs Golds worthy and. said, "I had a dream last night that youputthaencdhsiaid in ldinaabox frantic so helpstarted me God you are right , It is true— but it was bu ried in the garden." Mrs Stu ar t pu ll e d the lid of the b o x out of her pocket, and sai d, "No, it was not. Look here." Mrs Goldsw or thy sa id, " Oh, my God ! a religious brother of Mra Donohu e, took it away." Mrs St uar t th en w ent to Mrs. Donohue, who admitted that on last Thursday n i g ht she walked about the streets with the x in her arms, waiting f or an opportunity to boat." The r u p in bed, slip it into some corner. She at last got tired and anxious, and she went to the Globe Bridge, over the Regent's Canal, but she was afraid the splash of the box in the water would excite the suspicion of the pascersaby , P and she did not know what to do. Ultimately she threw it behind a shed near the bridge. When the deceased child was shown to Dr C. Garman he said that it might have lived for a short time, but he could not speak posi tively of the fact. It appeared to have been a six or seven months' child, Dr Henry Hance said that on last Sunday week he was called in to attend Mrs Goldsworthy. She was delivered of a female child of between five and s ix mouths. The child was born dead. No certi asked for. T ficate was T he mother asked witness, " What is to be done with this ?" Wianese said, "This is a m iscarriage. I do not suppose a cerijfi cate is necessary. Dig a hole two feet deep in the garden," Witness . did not thi n k it wa s wrong to ma k e such a remark to the e mother. It was a com mon practice for medical men to let the betties of be stili-born c hildren buried i n b ac k gar dens. Th e Coroner saidthat the p rac ti c e was a most • ..,. If the bodies - dangerous one of still-born children % , e buried • were allowed to a ~. in the back gardens of the houses in the min. °P?lis great facilities would be given for the commies; of the crime of infan ticide. Mrs Donohue was then called, and having been cau ti o ned by the Coroner, deposed that her real name was Charlotte Harvey, and that see resided at No. 5, Thomas-street, Step ney. She was a per son living on her means. She was not a nurse. Cbe attended Mrs Goldsworthy as a friend. The de ceased was at first buried in the garden. On the Tuesday the rats came about the garden, and the landlord of the house in which Mrs Goldsworthy lived said that the body " ra must be dug up." The body was taken up on the following Thursday. A consu lt at ion was held i n order to ascertain what was to be done with the WY- Mrs Goldsworthy said to withess, ,g D r op it:into the canal."

The Coroner said that case the T coro h ner's court could not prosecute in such a • at was a duty for the police. medical Dr. Hance said tha t the profession wished particularly to know if still-boin children required certificates. The Coroner having summed up, The Jury returned the following verdict ;—That the deceased child was found dead i n a certain box, and the jurors say that the said child was born;still and the said jurors further say that in their opinion great blame attaches to the medical man in this case, as owing to his not having g i ven a certi ficate the whole of this unfortunate occurrence is due. i Dr. Hance said that after that verdict the medical what to do in the case of profession would know still-born children. terminated. leaving the court she was instantly The proceedings then of illegall y As Mrs. Harvey was arrested on the charge exposing the dead body.

AQUATICS. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE, The following are the names of the six young watermen who are to contend on Monday, August 1, in the old established wager, for the livery and badge presented in 1715 by Mr Thomas Daggett, a famous comedian, in com memoration of the accession of the family of her present Majesty to the throne of Great Britain:— Frank Kilsby, Old Barge House Thomas Wittington, Legal Quays John H. Darby, Surrey Canal David Coombes, Horselydown James Groves, Horselydown George Charles Doo, Mortlake. Tho first prize will be the livery and badge and is presented by the Fishmongers' Company. The second and third prises are the gifts of the late Sir William Joliffe, lett by will, and arising from the interest on £260 17s 3d 3 per Cent Reduced (formerly £200) South Sea Stock, viz., and of the said interest—X4 17s. 9d and £2 18s Od. The fourth prize will be XL lls 6d, and the last two .S 1 is each (pro vided the whole course is rowed), being the gifts of the Fishmonger's Company. The race will start about 1 o'clock, and the course will be from London-bridge to the Swan at Chelsea. SWIMMING, SWIMMING MATCH IN THE SERPENTINE. An interesting race took place across the Serpentine and back on Wednesday evening, between a few lovers of the art in which Leander was so proficient. As in the case of that famous swimmer, the object of each competitor was to gratify the girl of his choice, the match being for a "sweetheart's prize"—an elegant gold necklet and locket, presented by the London Swimming Club. Some of the most expert members of this society entered, and were han dicapped according to their proficiency by Mr Payton, the secretary. Evens, the tallest and strongest looking of all—a fine young man, over six feet high—plunged in first, and after swimming about 15 yards was followed by a short, slim comrade, named Bartlett, who showed his skill by rapidly overtaking and passing his opponent, when half away across. Ploughing their way swiftly after them wore the rest of the competitors, who left the starting point thus :—Fry, two or three seconds after Bartlett ; Stuart next, anel the best swimmers, Jones and Williams, last. When about four minutes had elapsed from the time Evans started, Bartlett was seen to reach the opposite shore first, and to plunge in again for the return journey. His rivals being by this time close behind him, the race became ex citing to the hundreds who awaited the result. Encouraged to fresh exertion, the competitors persevered, swimming in the most plucky style. The rear division in vain tried their utmost to pass young Bartlett. Putting on a final spurt, amid enthusiastic cheers, he arrived first at the south bank, and was declared winner of the " Sweetheart's priz3." Fry came in second, and was immediately followed by Jones, Williams, Stuart, and, though last not least, Evans. A few of those adepts, as well as about 50 other amateurs, are to swim this (Friday) evening for the One-mile Amateur Champion's Cup, given by the proprietor of the Sporting Pilot. The course for the race is to be a mile in the Thames, from the Dung wharf to Putney aqueduct. A steamboat (from which the men are to start) will leave London-bridge at half-past 4, and will call at all the piers up to Putney. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. fRPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening, The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Petersfield and Bishop's Waltham Railway—Brecon and Me: thyr Tydfil Junction Railway (new lines) —Great WE tern Railway—Dublin Improvement—North Staffordshire Railway (new works and Silverdale, Madeley, and Dray. ton) South Eastern Railway (No. 4.) MIDDLE-CLASS EDUCATION. Lord BROUGHA NI presented a great number of peti tions, pray ing that their lordships would give their atten tion to the important subject of the education of the middle-class. _ Earl GRANVILLE informed the noble and learned lord that the Government intended to appoint a Royal Com mission to inquire into the subject, but he doubted if in sw.ction by officers appointed by Government would be effective. REPORTED REVIVAL OF THE HOLY ALLIANCE. Lord STRATFORD DE R,EDCLIFFE called atten tion to the rumours concerning the supposed revival of the so-called " Holy Alliance," and inquired whether her Ma jesty's Ministers had any information thereon which might be communicated to Parliament without prejudice :to the public service. He need not tell the lordships that the subject of his notice was one of great delicacy, but although the rumour was ionly bast2d upon newspaper reports there was sufficient evidence exist ing to attach importance to the report. It was , now half a century ago since a " Holy Alliance" existed, The treaties of Vienna and Paris were agreed upon for the purpose of composing the troubled affairs of Europe, but scarcely had they been disturbed when it was found that that the powers—Russia, Austria, and Prussia, were coming to an arrangement based entirely upon different terms, and likely to be followed by a very different result, and although the action and the treaty upon current affairs was not observed for a very long period, its influences were from time to time observed, Remembering the circumstances attending the original alliance, their lordships would naturally regard with interest any rumour regarding its revival, especiallly as circumstances which have followed the first intimation of its existence tends to confirm the rumours. He presumed that some information must have reached the noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. There was trustworthy information of an interview having taken place between Prince Gortscha koff and the English Ambassador respecting the matter. It was to be expected that there would be some trace in the British Ambassador's despatch of what passed on that occasion. It was also known that the Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs had some conversation with the Russian Ambassador on the subject, and it would be of the greatest interest to their lordships to be informed as to what really took place on that occasion.

This bill M wa s read a ED third time and passed. INDIAN ICAL SERVICE BILL. On th e order of the day for the consideration of this bill, as amended, Mr P. HENNESSY moved the addition of the following olause, "Any person, being a natural born subject of her Majesty, who may be desirous of b e i ng a ppointed an assis tant in the said toms, shall he admitted to be examined as a candidate for such appointment." The bill as it at pre. sent stood entirely put an end to the competitive system ; and, although it had been said by the f>ecretary of State for India that the system of open competition would, to a certain extent, remain, he preferred to have it expressly laid down in the bill. The hon. gentleman then read an extract from the Lancet, which stated that the mew. sure, if passed in its present form, would entirely destroy the efficiency of the East Indian medical service. Col. SYKES seconded the amendment. lie did not see how the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for India could object to the words of the proposed addition to the bill be- cause they were part of the Queen's proclamation to the people of India. The refusal of the clause was, in effect, to refuse that to the people of India which had been pro misod them by her Nejesty's proclamation. Sir C. WOOD said it was a mistake for any one to suppose that he was opposed to the competitive system, because he was the very person who introduced it. The bill, therefore, was not to abolish the competition, but it was to enable him to form a staff medical corp for India from amongst those medical officers in her Majesty's army who have entered it by competitive service. The Indian Medical Service was at present very deficient, and he be lima that the Queen's army would be benefited by that which he now proposed to do. He did not in the slightest degree wish to interfere with the regulations at present in existence in the Queen's army. Col. NORTH was in favour of the amendment. Mr BRADY said it was entirely Owing to the illiberal treatment the medics' men received that there was any.diffi culty in the matter. The medical man's pay w as " e h j e ,,, than that of other officers of a similar position, and whilst that state of things existed, it was impossible to suppose that gentlemen would enter upon duties of great responsi bility without being adequately remunerated for the labour, The position of the surgeon in the army, as far as rank w as concerned, was that of a captain whilst he only reached the pay of a lieutenant. Sir C. WOOD said that that state of things had been altered by advices taken out by the last mail. Sir J. TRELA WNY opposed the amendment. A division then took place, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority against the amendment —2o The amendment was negatived, and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday.
